___
Norway street, New york
Azane club..
'Umm, can i have one more please'..
Her voice had became hoarse and it was evident that she was tipsy.
"Bast**d, he surely thinks too highly of himself .. that piece of shit aghhhh"
While Whining about her personal grievances her eyes met with a stranger just seated next to her.
Upon looking up, she saw a well defined face, handsome as hell.
VICTORIA'S POV.
The man in front of me was hell bent handsome. His green eyes and well shaped face revealed a charismatic aura. He appeared to be cold and looked a little domineering. He faced me feeling my stare.
I was embarrassed as i was looking at him for too long.
To cover up, I mustered up courage and said,
" I know that i am beautifull, but your stare is making me uncomfortable mister.."
"Are you...? What about those models then? Aren't they prettier?" He chuckled at his own remark while gesturing towards the ladies on the stage.
Victoria frowned.. "Is that so... Why don't u go over than?"
"M afraid.." He replied.
'Of what'
"What if a tipsy kitten falls and hit the edge of this table " He said with an half amused look.
'It doesn't concern you.. u better care for yourself.' Victoria savagely replied.
The man's gaze gradually got darker.
A girl came from behind intending to talk to him. Though she was pretty, but it was no doubt that she was one of those diggers.
'ohh hey, can we dance?'
The man pondered for a moment and said, " i am afraid not, my girlfriend is right besides me and u know...
My kitten is possessive."
Victoria shot him a death glare but kept mum. The girl frowned while checking her out and went away.
"Well kitten..." But he was cut in between.
'Its victoria' she said coldly.
"Alright. Well, There isn't any reason to get cold right?"
"There is .. Mr. Stranger Firstly i am not a kitten..
Secondly i am not someone's girlfriend. And....."
'Thirdly u should talk less'.. he said while raising one of his eyebrows.
Victoria was infuriated.
The bartender handed her a bill which stated 456$..
'umm, honey i hope you'll settle it. Good night' she said mischievously
And headed out of the club.
That stranger chuckled and paid the bill.

Ignore thiss ;)
After reaching home,
"Aneya!!! Where are you dumbass?" Victoria shouted.
'Miss Stenford please talk with some sense of respec ' Aneya her housemate talked naughtily.
"Okay okay. I'll give you respect later but now i am hungry"
'Here we go.' Aneya served her food and sat down to eat with her.
'By the way, where were you??' Aneya enquired.
"Umm. Just.. umm .. you know.. I"
'Here??..where? Don't tell me you again went to the club!! I told you not to...' Aneya said aggressively.
Victoria's voice softened, "I am sorry love. I know you get worried due to my low alcohlic tolerance but.."
Before she could finish, Aneya said sadly, ' no idiot!! I meant that how could you go there alone.. leaving me here. I was f*cking bored.'
Victoria chuckled. "No worries we'll go for a movie tomorrow night. And this time I won't leave you alone".
Aneya meekly said, 'Alrightt Vic.'
That day,
Victoria slept soundly and woke up late. After looking at the clock striking 10, she was startled because she had a job interview.
She quickly washed up and got down.
Aneya had already gone to her work.
So she had her breakfast and headed out.
VICTORIA'S POV.
I stood in front of Maynard corporation, it was bigger and luxurious than i imagined. For a second , I felt like I could never belong to this place. It was simply too amazing. Clearing my thoughts, I went inside.
I enquired about my interview from the receptionist. She was too polite and professional unlike the ones whom I had encountered earlier.
The interview was conducted. I was quite confident in myself and it went really smoothly.
Hopefully I'll get a chance in this dream like place.
END OF POV.
At around 8pm, Aneya and Victoria went out for a movie as planned.
Although it was quite crowdy, but they managed to get a ticket. It was a thriller action movie.
But it proved to be an overhyped movie unlike Victoria's liking. She was on the verge of sleeping.
She went to freshen up in between after informing Aneya.
In the washroom,
As she was tidying herself near the wash basin, she heard some musculine voices coming from outside. She was so startled that she stood rooted to the same place.
Some men entered the washroom.
But before anyone could see her, a hand grabbed her and pulled her inside one of the washrooms.
VICTORIA'S POV.
I was too shocked too react. Those voices were approaching fastly. But suddenly I was grabbed and pulled inside. Alas! Maybe a saviour!!!
But I hit something hard. I felt someone's muscular chest with well defined abs.
As i looked up, I saw a familiar face.
The same hot stranger from the club!!!
' Ughhh, you pervert!!! ' I said.
He looked at me amusingly And said, 'Miss are you talking about yourself? It is quite inappropriate to step into males restroom to take peeks. Perhaps you yourself are a pervert!! "
I gave him a fierce look.
"Listen Mister, it is not ..."
He interrupted, "It's Eric.. my name's Eric."
I halted when he stepped a little more closer.
I was unable to react as I could feel my cheeks turning red. We were just standing too close. Our bodies had collided due to less space and he was literally pressing onto mine.
I don't even know what got into me, and I closed my eyes.
(Goddd, why did I do that?..)
"I know you are eager but sorry miss, you aren't my type."
My mind went blank. I was utterly embarrassed.
I just wanted to run away at that time.
And then I heard the footsteps fading away. Without thinking much i ran away because it was to embarrassing to face that stranger.

Hope you like it..

Next day,
•Somewhere in a luxurious villa,
"Butler Zhao, why my car keys aren't at my place! " Eric shouted.
The butler responded, ' Mr. Eric they are with madam...'
Before he could finish his sentence, Eric started going upstairs.
He knocked on the door. Without waiting for a response, he went inside.
He looked at Madam Shen unhappily, and said, "Miss Shen, aren't you tired of playing such silly tricks. What the hell do you want??".
Madam Shen replied straightforwardly, " I asked you to meet Mr. Milston's daughter yesterday. Seems like you don't take my words seriously."
She added, " and it's your luck that a mere racer like you can marry into Milston family. "
Eric rolled his eyes and said, ' i don't want that sort of luck. Why don't you marry your son in Milstons?? '
Madam Shen was enraged. "You brat!! How dare you, Can you even compare yourself to him. He is not unfilial like you. And I am thinking about your future and you dare talk back.."
"You should already stop that Madam shen, your brain cells have already stopped working due to overthinking. Go , take a rest." Eric responded and took his keys from the side table and went out leaving Madam shen furious.

On the other side, Victoria got up early for the first day of her job. She had received a confirmation mail a night before stating that she need to come from the next day. She got the post of CEO's secretary due to some uncertain situations.
She had her breakfast and went out.
•Maynard corporation
Victoria went inside cheerfully. She met Reen , the assistant manager who made her aware about her duties.
'The mail stated that I'll be working for the CEO, but i had applied for some other post. Regarding that.. i mean!..i' Victoria enquired.
Reen replied, " That is due to some emergency. The previous secretary had been fired recently. You know our CEO is a little cold. And alas in the nick of time, we got you.. moreover you are qualified enough to become a secretary. It is for a short time and you will get your previous post back. So No worries. Breath and you'll kill it.."
Victoria chuckled. Reen gave her some files for which she needed to go to the Ceo's office.
She calmed herself down and knocked on the Ceo's office. After listening to the affirmative reply, she entered inside.
VICTORIA'S POV.
I went inside cautiously. I saw a well-built figure working carefully on some documents.
'Julian Maynard' - I read the name plate placed over there. Umm.., i should say the CEO sure carries a cold aura.
" Good morning Mr. Maynard, I am Victoria Stenford and I'll be your secretary for the time being ."
He paid no heed to me and continued working.
"He is cold for sure.." I murmured.
Am I?? He asked while looking at me indifferently.
I was startled. ( Did he heard that.. aghhhh..I shouldn't have said that in first place.. now what..what should i do)
My thoughts were disorganised.
"I ....sir i.." I stammered.
He let out a soft chuckle and motioned me to handover the files.
He signed those and returned them to me.
"Thank you. I'll take my leave now." i said and rushed out.
